Two really geeky photos:

* the satellite dishes at Leuk where there is both a satellite ground station and the less-well-known Swiss satellite sniffing site,
* the Wallis entrance portal of the Lotschberg basis tunnel.

Went for a walk in the fields between Meyrin and the French border and took photos.

These are those which I think are more interesting - there's the Crête de la Neige in the Jura, again, with the remains of yesterday's snowfall (and the CERN 132kV power lines from France…) and another taken towards Mont Crozet, always in the Jura. Finally a field of rapeseed close up with a particularly interesting sky with filaments of clouds giving it what I find is a curious perspective effect.

I remain amazed at how you can take decent pictures with an iPhone..

Unseasonal snow on the #Jura, snow line down to an altitude of 1000 metres, contrasting with a beautiful yellow field of flowering rapeseed. A delicate line of puffy clouds as a scarf to the mountains.

Swiss Railways (SBB CFF FFS) Fire Brigade train taken a Geneva main station.

There are several of these three-wagon sets based across Switzerland in the main stations so that they can intervene rapidly in case of accidents. They are all also equipped to provide assistance in tunnels (obviously…).

A photo of the "Lac des Vernes" in Meyrin, Switzerland. It is an artificial lake created to channel all "greywater" from drains, etc. and part of it is a natural reserve to help migrating birds.
